Our People

We are

Volkswagen was founded with one enduring principle: great quality cars should be available to all. Our vehicles are a uniquely affordable luxury.

Every aspect of our business pursues the same perfection that our engineers have championed for decades – and made accessible to all. Our philosophy is summarised by ‘premium for the people’ and every person who is part of Volkswagen contributes to it. There are four important qualities that we value in our people, who are the foundation of our ability to offer unmatched value.

01

We are

Breakthrough thinkers

Our people are unafraid to challenge the status quo. We apply new ideas and won’t let tradition get in the way of doing things better.

Improve and simplify processes

Apply new ideas to achieve better results

Adaptable and open to change in a dynamic industry

02

We are

Self-managers

While we offer support and leadership for all of our employees, we believe in owning our work and accepting the highs and lows of responsibility.

Make ourselves accountable for our work

Mistakes happen, but we recognise and address them quickly

See opportunities and challenges as a chance to take action

03

We are

Creators of customer experience

Without people to buy and love our vehicles, we wouldn’t have the reputation we have today. We treat customers accordingly and offer care, value, education and ease.

Know our products inside-out and showcase the value no-one else has

Value our customers and never miss an opportunity to demonstrate it

Act on feedback to improve customer experiences

04

We are

Collaborators

None of our roles can exist in isolation, so we make our work better by working together. We take advantage of the range in our experiences, backgrounds and personalities.
